Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is one of Japan’s most famous whiskies, known for its smooth flavor and balance. First released in 1984, it helped put Japanese whisky on the world stage. Produced at the Yamazaki Distillery near Kyoto, it is made with pure water from the region and matured in a mix of cask types, including American oak, Spanish sherry oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak. This unique aging process gives it a complex yet approachable taste.
Founded in 1923, the Yamazaki Distillery was Japan’s first commercial whisky distillery. Its location, surrounded by bamboo forests and pure natural springs, provides an ideal environment for aging whisky. Over the years, Yamazaki whiskies have won awards worldwide, and the 12 Year Old remains the flagship expression.

In February 1899, Shinjiro Torii opened a store in Osaka, Japan, that imported and sold wine. Within a decade, Torii began producing his own sweet grape wine called Akadama Port Wine, which became wildly popular throughout the country. In 1923, Torri, who had been fascinated by whisky his entire life, decided to expand his business and began construction of the Yamazaki Distillery, Japan’s first-ever whisky distillery.
